UNSPSC 52101505: Synthetic rugs

UNSPSC 52101505 Synthetic rugs is a Commodity code covering the purchase and installation of carpet tile, resilient flooring, and related removal and disposal services by state and local jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying finished carpet tile products—primarily Shaw Respond and Kinetex brand tiles—along with labor-intensive installation services including existing flooring demolition, substrate preparation, adhesive application, and base installation. Work scopes typically span 2,500 to 41,000 square feet per project and include site-specific material specifications, cove base and transition detailing, and mandatory warranties on labor and manufacturers' products. The issuing bodies are diverse: school districts (Hazel Park Schools in Michigan, Atlanta Public Schools in Georgia, Seminole County Schools in Florida), special-purpose venue authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority), municipal facilities (City of Meriden, Connecticut; City of Madison, Wisconsin; University of Wisconsin system), and public housing authorities (Community Development Authority of Madison). School districts and specialized facilities management appear in repeat solicitation activity across the sample period.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest, with significant recent volume in Georgia (Georgia World Congress Center Authority multiple phases through July 2026; Atlanta Public Schools February 2026), Florida (Seminole County Schools sole-source procurement for $800,000 annual spend), Michigan (Hazel Park Schools February 2026), Wisconsin (University of Wisconsin Stevens Point April 2026; City of Madison June 2026), and Connecticut (City of Meriden June 2026). Representative current opportunities include the Georgia World Congress Center Authority Building C Meeting Room Carpet Replacement Phase IV (IFB, bids due August 3, 2026 for 41,913 square feet of Shaw tile across fourteen rooms), the City of Meriden flooring replacement at Platt High School (IFB, bids due June 3, 2026 for 5,630 square feet of Mannington tile with prevailing wage and 25 percent small-business set-aside requirements), and Atlanta Public Schools' district-wide carpet and flooring installation services contract (IFB, bids due March 18, 2026, one-year base with four renewal options). Most opportunities are competitively bid; Seminole County's $800,000 Kinetex procurement is a notable sole-source exception directed to J+J Flooring. Bonding, insurance, prevailing wage compliance, and site-visit attendance are standard contractual requirements across jurisdictions.
